And I again point to the difference between what The Sun and Mirror do compared to what The Times and The Guardian do. The only way you can make a charge of hypocrisy is if you ignore those differences and ignore what was actually said.
I don't think the Guardian criticized The Sun for having a editorial preference for the Tories, although they obviously disagree with the choice, they attacked the fact that The Sun has been suppressing polls which are not favorable. They have been doing only positive news items with regards to the Tories and negative stories when handling the other parties.
At the last debate The Sun claimed Cameron smashed it, even though all the other polls disagreed. The Guardian had no problem saying he won, nor agreeing with the verdict that he won. Same with The Times (who support the Tories) had no problem with saying Clegg or Brown did well.
